WHAT NIKOLA VUCEVIC POSTED

<p>The Montenegro-born NBA star is not just a Football Manager addict but as per his social media page, he loves football in general, especially Juventus. So much so, that Vucevic has visited the Allianz Arena several times, even meeting legends like Pavel Nedved and Gianluigi Buffon in the past. Also, he has consistently tweeted about his favourite club alongside various other football news in the past, with the NBA star upset that Paul Pogba left Juventus in 2016 and even showed his love for Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he joined the LA Galaxy MLS.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While Football Manager 24 was well received and praised for the changes that Sports Interactive made, Football Manager 25 has been plagued with problems. The company announced in November 2024 that it was delaying the launch to March 2025 while the gameplay would be released in January 2025. However, with January having come and gone, fans of the beloved franchise are now worried that the game may be delayed yet again.</p>
